Discharging system

By Wayne Labs, Senior Contributing Technical Editor

Schenck AccuRate’s SacMaster system provides dust-free discharging of materials supplied in bulk bags. The unit is available in three models: fork truck loading, dedicated hoist loading and overhead hoist loading. A paddle agitation system makes complete bag emptying possible for materials such as flour, sugar, cocoa powder and many others.
